Description
The Rail 5 is a full-suspension electric mountain bike built for ripping the big stuff
It features the same high-end trail tech as our analogue trail bikes, plus a powerful Bosch drive system that’s basically like having your own shuttle.
It’s right for you if…
You’re looking for an e-MTB that’s just as ready to rip as non-electric trail bikes. You want a powerful Bosch drive system that’ll propel you up climbs so you can hit lap after lap.
The tech you get
Additionally, a burly alloy frame with 150 mm of rear travel and a 625 Wh Removable Integrated Battery, an e-MTB optimised 160 mm RockShox 35 Gold RL fork, the latest from Bosch with smart system Performance Line CX capable of speeds up to 20 mph (25 km/h in Europe), including a Bluetooth® LED remote for easy connectivity and activity tracking through the eBike Flow app. Plus, a 1×12 drive train with a wide gear range so you can always find the ideal cadence for the motor, a dropper post, powerful 4-piston brakes for more downhill confidence and 29er wheels with nimble yet grippy 2.6″ tyres.
Why you’ll love it
- The Rail Gen 3 is built for big adventures, with Bosch’s smart system that packs in all the power you need, and a Bluetooth-connected LED remote that’s sleek and intuitive
- Trek’s Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system looks great and is super user-friendly: it fully hides the battery in the frame for protection, makes it easy to remove the battery without tools and lets you mount a water bottle cage
- The Rail keeps your cockpit tidy by skipping a display, but smart system makes it easy to add one
- The controller has Walk Assist and an intelligent e-MTB mode that automatically delivers the right amount of power based on your terrain
- Made with the same hard-charging frame tech as our amazing trail bikes, like Mino Link adjustable geometry, a Straight Shot down tube for extra stiffness and Active Braking Pivot (ABP)
The final word
Rail 5 is our best-value long-travel e-MTB. It’s equally as capable as our regular long-travel trail bikes, it just gets you back to the top in a flash. The powerful Bosch drive systems and durable part spec make for long-lasting fun.

* All specifications listed are subject to change without notice. Please note that manufacturer component substitution changes caused by high global demand for bikes and resulting supply chain issues in the bike industry may impact our specifications. We recommend confirming the specifications with your local Evo Cycles showroom if you have any questions. Additionally, their knowledgeable staff can provide valuable guidance to help ensure you select the perfect bike for your needs.
Bike Weight: Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on frame size, finish, hardware and accessories. The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local showroom weigh it for you. Specifically, this approach ensures you get the precise, real-world weight of the specific bike you’re interested in.
